Summary
A discussion about the pros and cons of the electoral college system and non-traditional voting on this edition of Fresh Air. Curtis Gans, an expert on voter turnout and participation, supports the electoral process. He is the director of the Committee for the Study of the American Electorate, a non-partisan group which analyzes the habits of voters. Akhil Amar is Southmayd Chair of Constitutional Law at Yale Law School. He would like to see the electoral college system abolished. Rob Ritche, executive director of the Center for Voting and Democracy discusses non-traditional voting - such as early voting which is now an option in 13 states. Many states have made it easier to get absentee ballots, and more people than ever are using that option. In Oregon, all the ballots this year are mail-in. (Broadcast Date: November 7, 2000)
